Section "Files"

XCOMM Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (which are concatenated together),
XCOMM as well as specifying multiple comma-separated entries in one FontPath
XCOMM command (or a combination of both methods)

XCOMM Module section -- this is an optional section which is used to specify
XCOMM which run-time loadable modules to load when the X server starts up.
XCOMM **********************************************************************

Section "Module"

XCOMM This loads the DBE extension module.

    Load	"dbe"

XCOMM This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables
XCOMM initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.

    SubSection	"extmod"
	Option	"omit xfree86-dga"
    EndSubSection

XCOMM This loads the Type1 and FreeType font modules

    Load	"type1"
    Load	"freetype"

EndSection


XCOMM **********************************************************************
XCOMM Server flags section.  This contains various server-wide Options.
XCOMM **********************************************************************

Section "ServerFlags"

XCOMM Uncomment this to cause a core dump at the spot where a signal is 
XCOMM received.  This may leave the console in an unusable state, but may
XCOMM provide a better stack trace in the core dump to aid in debugging

XCOMM    Option	"NoTrapSignals"

XCOMM Uncomment this to disable the <Crtl><Alt><Fn> VT switch sequence
XCOMM (where n is 1 through 12).  This allows clients to receive these key
XCOMM events.

XCOMM    Option	"DontVTSwitch"

XCOMM Uncomment this to disable the <Crtl><Alt><BS> server abort sequence
XCOMM This allows clients to receive this key event.

XCOMM    Option	"DontZap"

XCOMM Uncomment this to disable the <Crtl><Alt><KP_+>/<KP_-> mode switching
XCOMM sequences.  This allows clients to receive these key events.

XCOMM    Option	"DontZoom"

XCOMM Uncomment this to disable tuning with the xvidtune client. With
XCOMM it the client can still run and fetch card and monitor attributes,
XCOMM but it will not be allowed to change them. If it tries it will
XCOMM receive a protocol error.

XCOMM    Option	"DisableVidModeExtension"

XCOMM Uncomment this to enable the use of a non-local xvidtune client.

XCOMM    Option	"AllowNonLocalXvidtune"

XCOMM Uncomment this to disable dynamically modifying the input device
XCOMM (mouse and keyboard) settings.

XCOMM    Option	"DisableModInDev"

XCOMM Uncomment this to enable the use of a non-local client to
XCOMM change the keyboard or mouse settings (currently only xset).

XCOMM    Option	"AllowNonLocalModInDev"

XCOMM Set the basic blanking screen saver timeout.

    Option	"blank time"	"10"	# 10 minutes

XCOMM Set the DPMS timeouts.  These are set here because they are global
XCOMM rather than screen-specific.  These settings alone don't enable DPMS.
XCOMM It is enabled per-screen (or per-monitor), and even then only when
XCOMM the driver supports it.

    Option	"standby time"	"20"
    Option	"suspend time"	"30"
    Option	"off time"	"60"

XCOMM On some platform the server needs to estimate the sizes of PCI
XCOMM memory and pio ranges. This is done by assuming that PCI ranges
XCOMM don't overlap. Some broken BIOSes tend to set ranges of inactive
XCOMM devices wrong. Here one can adjust how aggressive the assumptions
XCOMM should be. Default is 0.

XCOMM Option   "EstimateSizesAggresively" "0"

Section "InputDevice"

    Identifier	"Keyboard1"
    Driver	"kbd"

XCOMM Set the keyboard auto repeat parameters.  Not all platforms implement
XCOMM this.

    Option	"AutoRepeat"	"500 5"

XCOMM Specifiy which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1)).

XCOMM    Option	"Xleds"	"1 2 3"

XCOMM To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.

XCOMM    Option	"XkbDisable"

XCOMM To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
XCOMM lines below (which are the defaults).  For example, for a European
XCOMM keyboard, you will probably want to use one of:
XCOMM
XCOMM    Option	"XkbModel"	"pc102"
XCOMM    Option	"XkbModel"	"pc105"
XCOMM
XCOMM If you have a Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
XCOMM
XCOMM    Option	"XkbModel"	"microsoft"
XCOMM
XCOMM If you have a US "windows" keyboard you will want:
XCOMM
XCOMM    Option	"XkbModel"	"pc104"
XCOMM
XCOMM Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
XCOMM For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
XCOMM
XCOMM    Option	"XkbLayout"	"de"
XCOMM
XCOMM or:
XCOMM
XCOMM    Option	"XkbLayout"	"de"
XCOMM    Option	"XkbVariant"	"nodeadkeys"
XCOMM
XCOMM If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
XCOMM control keys, use:
XCOMM
XCOMM    Option	"XkbOptions"	"ctrl:swapcaps"


XCOMM These are the default XKB settings for xorg
XCOMM
XCOMM    Option	"XkbRules"	"xorg"

XCOMM NOTE: THE VALUES HERE ARE EXAMPLES ONLY.  REFER TO YOUR MONITOR'S
XCOMM USER MANUAL FOR THE CORRECT NUMBERS.

XCOMM    HorizSync	31.5  # typical for a single frequency fixed-sync monitor
XCOMM    HorizSync	30-64         # multisync
XCOMM    HorizSync	31.5, 35.2    # multiple fixed sync frequencies
XCOMM    HorizSync	15-25, 30-50  # multiple ranges of sync frequencies

XCOMM Modes can be specified in two formats.  A compact one-line format, or
XCOMM a multi-line format.

XCOMM A generic VGA 640x480 mode (hsync = 31.5kHz, refresh = 60Hz)
XCOMM These two are equivalent

XCOMM If a monitor has DPMS support, that can be indicated here.  This will
XCOMM enable DPMS when the monitor is used with drivers that support it.

XCOMM    Option	"dpms"

XCOMM If a monitor requires that the sync signals be superimposed on the
XCOMM green signal, the following option will enable this when used with
XCOMM drivers that support it.  Only a relatively small range of hardware
XCOMM (and drivers) actually support this.

XCOMM    Option	"sync on green"

XCOMM The Driver line must be present.  When using run-time loadable driver
XCOMM modules, this line instructs the server to load the specified driver
XCOMM module.  Even when not using loadable driver modules, this line
XCOMM indicates which driver should interpret the information in this section.

XCOMM The chipset line is optional in most cases.  It can be used to override
XCOMM the driver's chipset detection, and should not normally be specified.

XCOMM section may be specified from the X server command line with the

XCOMM When now ServerLayout section is present, the first Screen section
XCOMM is used alone.

Section "ServerLayout"

XCOMM The Identifier line must be present

    Identifier	"Main Layout"

XCOMM Each Screen line specifies a Screen section name, and optionally
XCOMM the relative position of other screens.  The four names after
XCOMM primary screen name are the screens to the top, bottom, left and right
XCOMM of the primary screen.  In this example, screen 2 is located to the
XCOMM right of screen 1.

    Screen	"Screen MGA 1"	""	""	""	"Screen MGA 2"
    Screen	"Screen MGA 2"	""	""	"Screen MGA 1"	""

XCOMM Each InputDevice line specifies an InputDevice section name and
XCOMM optionally some options to specify the way the device is to be
XCOMM used.  Those options include "CorePointer", "CoreKeyboard" and
XCOMM "SendCoreEvents".  In this example, "Mouse1" is the core pointer,
XCOMM and "Mouse2" is an extended input device that also generates core
XCOMM pointer events (i.e., both mice will move the standard pointer).
